CVE-2017-11188
The ReadDPXImage function in coders\dpx.c in ImageMagick 7.0.6-0 has a large loop vulnerability that can cause CPU exhaustion via a crafted DPX file, related to lack of an EOF check.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.79%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
